Wear the machine with both the shoulder straps on the shoulders.
Keep yourselves always in upright, firm and balanced position, never
plies the back while wearing the machine.
Never spray against people or animals or property.
Always turn off the engine before removing the machine from the
shoulders.
The use of the mist blower gets tired; tiredness can cause the loss of
control of the machine with possible lesions or damages towards
himself or third party. If you feel tired, take a break.
Take care about the presence of eventual obstacles on the ground
(branches, roots, rocks, etc.). In particularly pay attention in condition
of wet ground or damp.
Never walk backward while spraying.
If possible make the treatment with chemicals in the early morning or
late afternoon. This because usually is less windy and the plant and
ground temperature is lower so you have less evaporation.
Don’t work in windy days and never work spraying against the wind.
A prolonged use of any power tool exposes the user to vibrations that
may cause a phenomenon known as Raynaud’s syndrome (known as
the “white fingers disease”) and the carpal tunnel syndrome; the
symptoms are cold fingers, prickle and/or numbness to the hand with
a reduced ability to feel and regulate the temperature of the limb and it
may cause circulation and nerve damage and tissue necrosis.
However the reasons for a predisposition are unknown but the cold
climate, smocking and some illnesses of the circulation of the blood,
together with the vibrations, can be factors of development of the
diseases as the syndrome of Raynaud and the syndrome of the
carpal tunnel.
Although Cifarelli's blower is equipped with an anti-vibration system,
for professional users (who uses the machine in a constant and
continuous way), it is advisable to:
Wear gloves.
Check the anti-vibration system every time the machine is used.
Grab well the handle but without tighten too much.
Take breaks frequently.
Even
applying
the
above-mentioned
precautions,
in some
predisposed subjects may occur the symptoms mentioned before; in
such case you have to contact a physician.
During the use of the mist blower, please check periodically that the grid
of protection of the fan (that is located behind the backrest) is not
obstructed by the presence of extraneous parts (as leaves, etc.).
Remove all the objects as stones, piece of broken glass and all that can
be thrown during the work.
